| Thailand is the host country. |
| Dota 2 is the future |
| DotA 1 is the best :)) |
| Nice PH best teams! But i think they should invite Revitalize also of PH bcoz Revitalize -> Mineski(HappyFeet) -> Izone125(HappyFeet2) = Execration Pinoys know that :))) |
haha prof that dota 1 will not die in 2012 upto 1st month of 2013  hmm i dreamed that dota2 will replace dota1 this year as dota2 will be stable in mid 2012 i guess i was wrong or dota 1 will be forever!! |
So this is the tourney GGByte has offered to prove that Mineski is really the best in SEA?  |
| ^No. |
| GOGO REDSPADE |
| @34 Thousand Percent Troller, Think First Fagg! |
| 15 teams? is this the final list then? |
| WOW!!salute for GIGABYTE thanks for hosting DOTA and proving that it will never dies. It was the Beginning of everything that's why it must'n die but as long as more like Gigabyte to sponsor DOTA it will never die long live DOTA!! |
| Lots of SEA DotA action |
| The description of the client they will use looks promising. I wanna see the upcoming matches before i use this. If it's laggy then probably I will not. Hope it's more stable than any other client around. Good luck to the teams that will participate in this tourney. Long live DOTA 1! |
| gl indonesia |

| It is gonna be DotA 1 not 2 Guys |
| great job gigabyte supporting dota with such an awesome tourney. |
